2007 Georgetown Hoyas Basketball Preview

Last season the Georgetown Hoyas (30 -7 overall, 13- 3 Big East)
captured first-place in the Big East and then made it to the Final
Four in the conference
tournament brackets where they lost to
Ohio State 67- 60. In three years, coach John Thompson III (72-
30 at Georgetown, 140- 72 overall in seven years) has taken a promising
team with 19 wins to a blossoming team with 30 wins. Watch out,
it looks like Thompson can get this club to the Final Four and
NCAA
basketball betting again in 2007- 2008.

It was defense and patient shot selection that made the Hoyas
competitive last season. Although they placed 11th in the conference
in scoring, averaging 69.1 PPG, Georgetown’s defense was
one of their best assets. The Hoyas were first in the Big East
and 11th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 58.1
PPG. On the boards, they finished third in rebounding margin (plus-5.4).
Although they scored fewer points per game than almost every other
Big East team, their 50.5% shooting percentage was first and decisive
for the NCAA
picks.

The fact is that Georgetown doesn’t waste shots. They take
good ones and make them count like our college
basketball picks.
Forward Jeff Green, who turned pro after last season, was better
than his 14.3 PPG might suggest. The frontcourt will feature one
of the best players in the country—senior
center Roy Hibbert (12.9 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 67.1 FG%). Hibbert, who
stand 7’ 2” tall and weighs 278 pounds, eats defenses
for breakfast. Forwards DaJuan Summers (9.2 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 41.2
FG%) and Vernon Macklin (2.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 74.1 FG%) round out
the front.

The last time the Hoyas weren’t in the tournament was Thompson’s
first season as coach. This year it looks like Georgetown could
be national champs. It’s certainly not a done deal but rest
assured that the Hoyas will be competitive to the bitter end.
